Maradona's Hand of God and Goal of the Century

June 22nd, 1986 38 years ago

In the quarter-finals of the 1986 FIFA World Cup, Diego Maradona scored two infamous goals against England, leading Argentina to a 2–1 victory. The first goal, dubbed the 'Hand of God,' was controversial as Maradona used his hand to score, which went unnoticed by referees. This was followed by the legendary 'Goal of the Century,' where Maradona dribbled past multiple English players before scoring. Argentina advanced to the semi-finals and ultimately won the tournament.
